Are We Getting Worse As Humans?

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

The older I get, the worse I think it is!

Then I also see the good side to us more often too.

Some days I feel sick to my stomach when I read things like that, other days I am filled with hope when seeing people do selfless things and when we come together, even for a brief moment.

So my answer is, I don't know!

I think as we grow older we grow not wiser, but perhaps more aware. Our life experiences become resource data from which we can use to make better choices and decisions. As it has been said, some things you can't unsee, especially those things that we find repugnant.

I think evil is multilayered. It is hard for me to explain what I mean because the word itself immediately generates a mental image for each of us, and it is never static. Evil is constantly morphing, sometimes it is so translucent that it is near impossible to see.

Hope is what I think keeps most of us afloat. Love and compassion is what keeps away the darkness.
